Big impression, pocket-sized takeaway

Getting through to people on the go isn’t easy – and leaving a lasting impression can be even harder. But rip cards (sometimes called perforated rack cards) give you a simple, convenient way to do both. Tell your story with eye-catching imagery and a memorable message in the main section. Share your contact info, event details or valuable coupons with the pocket-sized tearaway tab at the bottom. If you’ve gotten the attention of would-be customers, rip cards help keep you top of mind – and make it easier for them to follow up.

Portable & versatile

One of the best things about perforated rip cards is how many different ways you can use them. You can put them in high-traffic areas to get lots of eyes of them, and add a coupon or important info to the tearaway section to make it worth hanging onto. Catch customers on their way in or out by placing them on front counters and reception desks. Include them in trade show displays to get event-goers excited. Or leave them in lobbies and public spaces to get the attention of people passing through.

Easy-to-design sections

Our perforated rip cards may have 2 separate sections, but they’re not twice as hard to design. We’ve created a variety of templates that give the tearaway piece and the rest of your rack card a consistent, complete look. You just plug in the images, information and any other custom touches you’d like. And if you’re not sure how to get just the look you want, we’re always standing by to help.

I designed these cards for my massage therapy practice and I could not be happier with how they turned out. Everyone I have handed them out to remarks how well they look and that they fit me perfectly. I will definitely be ordering more as I've almost run out already!

Frequently asked questions

Rip cards measure 3.74" x 8.27" – just like our other rack card options.

Yes, every rip card comes with perforation lines that make the lower tearaway section easy to detach.

Yes. Beyond matte or glossy papers, you can choose from a variety of options, including linen, pearl and cotton. You can also opt for rounded corners or add foil accents to your design.

Yes. We have a variety of professionally designed templates that help make the different parts of your rip card look great – and great together. You can also upload your own design if you’ve got one ready to go.

Yes – here are a few things to keep in mind as you design your rip cards:

Keep the front side simple. Include an enticing headline and tagline, but don’t overwhelm readers with too much text.

Define your target audience. Tell customers how your product or service can help them. Add benefits. It’s good practice to use the back side of your rack cards to communicate some of the key benefits you offer.

Use inspirational imagery. An attractive, relevant photo will help your rack card stand out and convey the benefits of your product or service.

Make the tearaway stand out. The detachable section should have a look that’s consistent with the rest of your rip card, but you want to include a message, coupon, logo or contact info that feels extra important – and worth keeping.
